Astros’ Dallas Keuchel takes the mound on opening day against a team he has dominated

As the Mets open their season with a World Series rematch with the Kansas City Royals, the Yankees will be seeking a bit of revenge of their own this week.

On Monday, the Yankees host the Houston Astros, the team that unceremoniously dispatched them from the playoffs last year in the American League wild-card game. That means the first starting pitcher they face in 2016 happens to be the last one they faced in 2015: Dallas Keuchel—the last pitcher they want to see standing atop the Yankee Stadium mound.
